1. Cooling Technologies
1.1 Once-Through (Open-Loop) Cooling
Once-through cooling uses an ample supply of water
(from an ocean, river, lake, cooling pond or canal) to
run through the system’s heat exchanger to condense
the low-pressure steam at the exhaust of the turbines

resources. This is particularly exacerbated by the fact
that electricity demand is disproportionately high in

newly built nuclear power plants that use once-through cooling (for instance, some that
are constructed inland in China), which expands water withdrawals for nuclear generators
by a third. Consumption of water in the world’s power sector rises by almost 40%, boosted
by increased use of wet tower cooling in thermal capacity. Increasing shares of gas-fired
and renewable generation play a significant role in constraining additional water use in
many regions, as global electricity generation grows by some 0% over 2010-2035, much
more than water withdrawal or consumption by the sector.

Energy-related water use rises as a direct consequence of steeply increasing global biofuels
supply, which triples in the New Policies Scenario on government policies that mandate
the use of biofuels. Water withdrawals for biofuels increase in line with global supply, from
25 bcm to 110 bcm over 2010-2035. owever, consumption increases from 12 bcm to
almost 50 bcm during that time, equalling the water consumption for power generation by
the end of the Outlook period. These higher water requirements for biofuels production
stem from the irrigation needs for feedstock crops for ethanol and biodiesel – primarily

Pumped storage is the largest-capacity form of grid energy storage
available in the world (99% of bulk storage capacity worldwide,
representing around 127,000 MW).
Energy efficiency varies in practice between 70% and 80%.
The EU has 38.3 GW net capacity (36.8% of world capacity) out of a total of 140 GW of
hydropower.
Japan has 25.5 GW net capacity (24.5% of world capacity).

A New Approach for Water
What is required is a “soft path,” one that
continues to rely on carefully planned and
managed centralized infrastructure but
complements it with small-scale decentral-
ized facilities. The soft path for water
strives to improve the pro-
ductivity of water use rather
than seek endless sources of
new supply. It delivers wa-
ter services and qualities
matched to users’ needs,
rather than just delivering
quantities of water. It ap-
plies economic tools such as
markets and pricing, but
with the goal of encouraging
efficient use, equitable dis-
tribution of the resource,
and sustainable system op-
eration over time. And it in-
cludes local communities in
decisions about water man-
agement, allocation, and use
(21–23). As Lovins noted for the
energy industry, the industrial
dynamics of this approach are
very different, the technical risks
are smaller, and the dollars
risked far fewer than those of the
hard path (24).
Rethinking water use
means reevaluating the objec-
tives of using water. Hard-path planners erro-
neously equate the idea of using less water, or
failing to use much more water, with a loss of
well-being. This is a fallacy. Soft-path planners
believe that people want to satisfy demands for
goods and services, such as food, fiber, and
Fig. 4. Construction of large reservoirs worldwide in the 20th century. Average
numbers of reservoirs with volume greater than 0.1 km3
built by decade,
through the late 1990s, are normalized to dams per year for different periods.
Note that there was a peak in construction activities in the middle of the 20th
century, tapering off toward the end of the century. The period 1991 to 1998
is not a complete decade; note also that the period 1901 to 1950 is half a
century. “Other regions” include Latin America, Africa, and Oceania (46).

overall productivity of water by making water management
more efficient rather than seeking new sources of supply

Conclusions
•  Present day water and energy systems are tightly intertwined
•  Hydropower has a role in the nexus
•  Global change is challenging future hydropower operation
•  Soft adaptation measures should be first considered to better
exploit the potential of existing infrastructures
•  Designing and implementing those measures require a trully
mulidisciplinary approach
•  Sationarity is dead and the future uncertain: implications for
planning
That’s all

Consumption of water in the world’s power sector rises by almost 40%, boosted by increased use of wet tower cooling in thermal capacity. Increasing shares of gas-fired and renewable generation play a significant role in constraining additional water use in many regions, as global electricity generation grows by some 0% over 2010-2035, much more than water withdrawal or consumption by the sector.

Water withdrawals for biofuels increase in line with global supply, from 25 bcm to 110 bcm over 2010-2035. owever, consumption increases from 12 bcm to almost 50 bcm during that time, equalling the water consumption for power generation by the end of the Outlook period. These higher water requirements for biofuels production stem from the irrigation needs for feedstock crops for ethanol and biodiesel – primarily Global water use for energy by fuel and power generation source

More tly, the economic costs of the ional hard path have also risen to s that society now seems unwilling able to bear. The most cited estimate he cost of meeting future A New Approach for Water What is required is a “soft path,” one that continues to rely on carefully planned and managed centralized infrastructure but complements it with small-scale decentral- ized facilities. The soft path for water strives to improve the pro- ductivity of water use rather than seek endless sources of new supply. It delivers wa- ter services and qualities matched to users’ needs, rather than just delivering quantities of water. It ap- plies economic tools such as markets and pricing, but with the goal of encouraging efficient use, equitable dis- tribution of the resource, and sustainable system op- eration over time. And it in- cludes local communities in decisions about water man- agement, allocation, and use (21–23). As Lovins noted for the energy industry, the industrial dynamics of this approach are very different, the technical risks are smaller, and the dollars risked far fewer than those of the hard path (24). Rethinking water use means reevaluating the objec- tives of using water. Hard-path planners erro- neously equate the idea of using less water, or failing to use much more water, with a loss of well-being. This is a fallacy. Soft-path planners believe that people want to satisfy demands for goods and services, such as food, fiber, and Fig. 4. Construction of large reservoirs worldwide in the 20th century. Average numbers of reservoirs with volume greater than 0.1 km3 built by decade, through the late 1990s, are normalized to dams per year for different periods. Note that there was a peak in construction activities in the middle of the 20th century, tapering off toward the end of the century. The period 1991 to 1998 is not a complete decade; note also that the period 1901 to 1950 is half a century. “Other regions” include Latin America, Africa, and Oceania (46). source: Gleick, 2003

  • 99. Conclusions •  Present day water and energy systems are tightly intertwined •  Hydropower has a role in the nexus •  Global change is challenging future hydropower operation •  Soft adaptation measures should be first considered to better exploit the potential of existing infrastructures •  Designing and implementing those measures require a trully mulidisciplinary approach •  Sationarity is dead and the future uncertain: implications for planning
